Comment At what notability level do you call Gamma Ethniki when it clearly states that it is a professional league and Nikić has played in it? Does that not allow him to be notable under that? Govvy (talk) 20:59, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - do we know for sure that the league is fully professional? The statement isn't sourced in the article, and it's relatively down the league tiers, so it's a valid concern. matt91486 (talk) 23:38, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, and the Greek original from which that article is taken isn't sourced either. This'll need some looking into - if the Gamma Ethniki is fully professional, then Nikic would meet WP:ATHLETE. Bettia (rawr!) 14:34, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment General rule is in Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues, personally i think Beta Ethniki meet the requirement but not for a player spent his whole senior career at a third division. Matthew_hk t c 15:45, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Secondly the article without source support. Matthew_hk t c 15:53, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I had a good try to find stuff for him, but unfortunately he plays a fairly low level and I think he is only semi-pro. So I am going to say delete. Govvy (talk) 01:23, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Comment. This AfD seems to depend on the status of Gamma Ethniki. The nearest thing I could find to a reliable source is this, that says it's professional, but the site seems to be self-published. Maybe someone who reads Greek can clear up this point? Phil Bridger (talk) 19:06, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - there isn't enough evidence to say that he has played at a fully-pro level, so he fails WP:ATHLETE. Giant Snowman 20:46, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
